Washington Examiner ^ | September 22, 2021 | Emily Brooks

Women between the ages of 18 and 25 will be required to register for the Selective Service, the system used to draft people into the military, if the annual defense funding bill that the House is likely to pass on Wednesday makes it to Biden’s desk.

As long as *ALL* the children under 30 of all elected and appointed Federal officials are the first ones called up and put in front line units.

I’m for it. Women only want equal rights when it benefits them.

Flame away but my daughter has 18 years in the military. I’m retiring from the military. People need to figure out how their freedom is maintained. It’s not by hugging it out with terrorists.

Why? Isn't it the left pushing that men are women and women are men and that they are equal in sports etc? Why not see if they actually believe it? In Israel, women are required to spend time in the military.

The Wermacht shot Russian female soldiers on sight, with prejudice. The males were treated better.

Is that what these feminists want? >

These RINO’s just assume that the draft will never be activated again. They are wrong. That is a handle of power, and Dems are drunk on it.

I agree wholeheartedly.

When I turned 18, registration for the draft got reinstated so I went down to the post office to fulfill my duty. About 15 years later, I applied for federal loans for college and was told that I had not registered. Nonsense. I said I’d gladly re-register, no skin off my nose. Then they told me I was TOO OLD to register.

I worked with my congressman, then my US senator Feinstein to get this ridiculous loophole in the law [no due process whatsoever!] removed, and even she as one of the most powerful politicians on the planet couldn’t budge this stupid Kafkaesque bureaucracy.

Get rid of them. We haven’t needed the draft since Vietnam, and it’s arguable we didn’t need it then.

“These RINO’s just assume that the draft will never be activated again.”

You are probably correct in saying RINO’s assume there will never be another draft. However, it is hard to say for sure what motivates total strangers.

Like bankruptcies, civilizations fall slowly; then suddenly.

So why because Israel compels every man and woman to serve in the military should we give a damn here? I prefer freedom.

Feminists don’t care about women. They only care about marxism.

I prefer freedom.

But not fighting for it?

Because their women are trained in arms and self-defense. They have teachers that carry weapons at school because of those pesky terrorists. Have you looked at our border and what's coming across it?

I believe the draft is for ages 18-25. It makes no damn sense to me why you would draft women in prime birthing years to go serve as a grunt in a foreign war. It’ll be a damn mess. Even when I deployed we ended up with bunch of unplanned pregnancies, and those ladies weren’t forced to be in the military. I think it’s dumb.

Bring back the draft...

Call up some of the trannies that they claim are breaking their necks to join up (they want to serve their country)

No operations allowed until they finish 4 years with a combat assignment included ....
